ERROR MESSAGES
WARNING: If an error is detected by
the parking brake, never rely on the
parking brake to hold the vehicle on a slope.
If an error is detected by the parking brake
system, both the brake system and parking
brake warning lights on the DIS will flash
and a message will be displayed in the DIS.
When the 12 Volt disconnect procedure is
performed, or the #10 fuse has been
removed from the fuse panel, a text
message will appear in the DIS and the
parking brake icon will be flashing alerting
the driver to re-calibrate the parking brake.
To re-calibrate the electronic parking
brake, perform the following:
1. Place the vehicle in system Ready
mode. Pull the parking brake button,
then push the button.
2. The icon will stop flashing and the text
message will disappear.
EMERGENCY USE
CAUTION: Driving the vehicle with the
parking brake applied, or repeated
use of the parking brake to slow the vehicle,
may cause serious damage to the brake
system.
In an emergency, with the vehicle traveling
more than 2mph (3km/h), pulling and
holding the parking brake lever gives a
gradual reduction in speed.
Note: If the vehicle is moving and the
parking brake is applied, the system will
automatically release the parking brake
after 10 seconds to prevent damage to the
system and the message “PARK BRAKE
CANNOT APPLY” is displayed.
The parking brake must be reapplied to
continue slowing the vehicle.
